A weekend at the farm.
June 6, 2011 No CommentsThis year for Memorial Day I had the pleasure of staying in an old farm house set amongst the bluffs of Trempealeau County, WI. The house was a part of a local farm, I believe it was the original farmstead for the family. The farm has been in this family since 1899 as indicated on the copula of the barn. It was an awesome little retreat equipped with llamas, chickens and natural beauty.
The black llama was very friendly and loved attention, from my limited experience this isn’t always the norm. They are flighty animals mush like horses can be. The brown llama was not so keen on getting close to the fence when people were around. The rooster was also very interesting to me. Not only did he seem to strut his stuff. He seemed to tell me that the hens were his and I had better keep at a distance. Of-course he never came at me, but his eyes said it all…
It quickly became apparent egg hunting too early in the morning resulted in not finding any eggs. Waiting until 10 o’clock resulted in about 6 eggs! The eggs came in all sorts of colors; green, blue, brown and white. Watching the chickens in their roosts was pretty neat and had a little visitor peek out to see what all the commotion was!
All in all the retreat was a nice, relaxing place with great landscapes.
